Ido — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Ido in Hebrew letters is עידו. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
עידו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עידו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 90 — the same as the Torah word מן, “a part of”. That number points to Torah page 90 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 8:22. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name עידו gives 90.
90
The number 90 is the Torah word מן — «a part of» (Genesis 2:6).
Tsadi is 90; Sarah's ninety years at Isaac's birth (Genesis 17:17).
The number 90, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 90 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
על פני אביו ויבך עליו וישק לו ויצו …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 50:1:
וַיִּפֹּל יוֹסֵף עַל־פְּנֵי אָבִיו וַיֵּבְךְּ עָלָיו וַיִּשַּׁק־לוֹ
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
The same number, 90, is given by these biblical names:
מלך · למך · יכין · עזובה
Nine ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 90. A Torah word with the same number is מן — “a part of” (Genesis 2:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “alive” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 36. A Torah word with the same number is אלה — “these or those” (Genesis 2:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 411. A Torah word with the same number is שלמיאל — “Shelumiel, an Israelite” (Numbers 1:6).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5052.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 324. A Torah word with the same number is כשד — “Kesed, a relative of Abraham” (Genesis 22:22).
The word that comes out is זמקפ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 227. A Torah word with the same number is זכר — “remembered, i.e. a male” (Genesis 1:27).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 596. A Torah word with the same number is שמרון — “Shimron, the name of an Israelite and of a…” (Genesis 46:13).
The number 90 appears in the classical books 36 times across 19 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).
The full message
Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, the day 861 of your life, the psalm by age, the attestations from 834 works — a PDF built the moment you pay.
The name עידו does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For עידו these are ע and ו. The Pentateuch has 7 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 8:22:
עד כל ימי הארץ זרע וקציר וקר וחם וקיץ וחרף ויום ולילה לא ישבתו
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.

How it is counted
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
